ALSO, I have not had to do an eviction following a partial payment agreement (so I don't know exactly how that would pan out in our courts), all of my tenants have so far completed their payment agreements as signed.Multifamily Northwest has forms for these types of things available via the Rental Forms Center at https://rentalformscenter.com/ Their forms are typically well reviewed by local attorneys; as you'll note, on the Partial Rent Payment Receipt there is verbiage specifically about if the landlord has/has not served a termination notice and reserving the landlords right to eviction if the agreement is not completed.

My goal is to stabilize, refinance within 3-5 years, and offer strong returns to lenders.Your point about targeting SDIRA investors and high earners is interesting—how do you typically find and connect with these types of lenders?
